Here for the first time we meet Jefferson as a man of feeling and passion. With a novelist's skill and meticulous scholarship, Fawn M. Brodie shows Jefferson as he wrestled with issues of revolution, religion, power, race, and love -- ambivalences that exerted a subtle but powerful influence on his political writing and his decision making. The portrait that results adds a whole new depth to those of the past.\" CONTENTS: Foreword; Acknowledgments; The Smi-Transparent Shadows; The Parents; A Sense of Family; A Capacity for Involvement; A Problem with the Forbidden; Martha Jefferson; The Revolutionary; Jeffersona nd Independence-The Domestic Problem; The Flight from Power; Jefferson and the War; Jefferson Writes a Book; The Two Marthas; The Return to Politics; Restlessness and Torment; My Head and My Heart; The Second Interlude; Sally Hemings; The Revolutionary Goes Home; The Satellite Sons; Disillusionment in Eden; Triangles at Monticello; Candidate a Contre Coeur; Callender; Jason; Betrayal; Jefferson Under Attack; Death, hatred, and the Uses of Silence; Jefferson and Burr; A Genius for Peace; Like a Patriarch of Old; Writer of Letters; The Monticello Tragedy; Reminiscences of Madison Hemings; Reminiscences of Israel Jefferson; \"My Head and My Heart\"; The Family Denial; Notes; Bibliography; Index","brand":"W.W.
